The track on the racing puma is wider than a normal Puma but how much more is it?

Exact measurements please if you can help?

Have a look here Clicky it might help.
The press cars had a 10mm wider spacer block on the back axle.
Ford dropped this on the "normal" FRP due to bearing load, but a few of use have added the 10mm back by one means or another ;)
